On November 6th 2006, TGCTS debuted on 92.9 KICK-FM. We mark the occasion by kicking off Episode 44 with former co-host and producer Spirited Kenny for a fun discussion of the legacy of the radio show.
Then, a review of columns about the civic election.

This incredible documentary by @rehoov tells the story too few ever want to mention and discuss. It’s the story of the widespread ethnic cleansing of the Jewish people from all the Arab and Muslim lands since 1948. Nearly a million came to Israel, the rest to the US and some Europe.
These Jewish communities lived in those lands for centuries before Islam even existed. Over 1400 years their numbers were decimated. They’d never lived in Europe. Never came from Europe. And they make up more than half the Jewish population of Israel.
This was the real Nakba. But unlike Arabs and the UN who intentionally kept their own people in camps and cages for 78 years, Israel absorbed all of these Jews within a few years. Each one.

The Bathurst and Sheppard Hate Mob has announced that it is packing it in.
Good riddance. Likely reasons.
1) Trespass order prohibiting their use of the driveway or strip of private property to store their stuff.
2) Release orders against Daniela Bonamico and Shahram Nayeb-Yazdi and Diana Bosco that prohibit their appearance within 500m of the intersection.
3) Charges against Anas Sial and 7 others for wilful promotion of hatred.
4) Arrest of Diana Bosco (with overnight jail) for breaching an order prohibiting her from appearing at the intersection.
All of which supports my theory that when a public demonstration of antisemitism becomes sufficiently expensive, risky, career-terminating, and involves jail time, it tends to stop.
One night aroiund 1997, Chrystal Sound got the contract for the Zoo. I walked into the DJ booth and met the new guy, Shane Whiteside- DJ Monkey Man.
We became comrades and close friends, for almost 30 years.
Episode 45 is about my late friend Shane:

Look, I don't know why you're hurt and hurting others, but one of the most basic principles of Judaism is about moving past pain WITHOUT hurting others. It's a shame you've been through all these shuls, yet still failed to pick up on this central tenet.

We discuss how Mr. "Bigger Picture" Brent Bellamy displays zero comprehension that needing to three transfers and riding a bus for 90 minutes is what's making people choose to use a vehicle and spend LESS TIME commuting to visit family and friends.

I bet we don't hear a peep out of @brent_bellamy on this one. And talk about a misleading headline since the cyclist ran a red @CBCManitoba.

Notably missing from Brent Bellamy's bloviations is any hint that infill builds are straining schools and other resources to the detriment of long-time residents with blackouts and low water pressure but are a windfall for land speculators.

CBC’s At Issue buried the real budget criticism in the YouTube bonus
In the online-only extra, Andrew Coyne finally said it plainly: “Moving in the wrong direction is they are going to increase and indeed entrench subsidies to the news media to our business. I thought this was a bad idea when they first introduced it… it was going to be this temporary emergency stopgap… Well, once we got our hooks into the public taxpayer, you’ll never get us off it. So in fact, they’re increasing the amount of and they’re going to make it pretty much permanent. And they’ve expanded it beyond just the newspaper business now into audio visual. This is not good for the future of the news business in this country.”
The response? An immediate pivot from Rosie to “Your letter stamps are going up to $2… Canada Post isn’t doing well. 7% escalator after. Oh, dear.”
A panelist on the public broadcaster admits the temporary media bailout is now permanent and expanding, and the room answers with postage rates. That is the entire engagement with the most obvious conflict of interest in the budget @acoyne @RosieBarton @althiaraj

Hard to believe CTV was the counterweight to CBC for decades. Then, as the Trudeau cash leached in they sounded just like CBC. Now indistinguishable as they all fish in the same shallow pool of sameness. Global read the room and they went full report-for-pay, too.
If CDNs are all samethink this is why. They're putty in Carner's hands.
Shamefully pushing the narrative eh @CTVNationalNews . You forgot “In this dangerous and divided world affordability has never been greater for Canadians”. Do some real reporting for once. Where’s the OSAP money.
In Part 2 of Episode 44, Tom Brodbeck of the Free Press reinforced the accuracy of our investigative reporting as we identified early on what he called the major issues for voters- "public safety, homelessness and transit."

37.50- The smug elitism of urban visionary Brent Bellamy was on full display in his post-election plea for City Council to continue to steamroll what he derisively called, quotation marks included, "neighborhood character" with more infill housing.
